User Security in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: Build the Role or Assign the Set-Round 47
Welcome back to our Dynamics GP vs. Dynamics Business Central Functionality Face-Off. This is Round 47.

Welcome back to our Dynamics GP vs. Dynamics Business Central Functionality Face-Off. This is Round 46, and we’ll be honest up front: this one is not a fair fight.

Welcome back to our Dynamics GP vs. Dynamics Business Central Functionality Face-Off. This is Round 42. Last round we followed a production order from release to finish.

Welcome back to our Dynamics GP vs. Dynamics Business Central Functionality Face-Off. This is Round 41, and we are staying on the shop floor.

Round 38 of our Dynamics GP vs. Dynamics 365 Business Central Functionality Face-Off heads out to the warehouse floor with a clipboard: it’s physical inventory count day. Nobody loves count day.

Read MoreLot and Serial Tracking in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: Set Every Item by Hand or Reuse One Tracking Code-Round 37
Round 37 of our Dynamics GP vs. Dynamics 365 Business Central Functionality Face-Off tackles a topic that keeps quality managers up at night: lot and serial number tracking.

Read MoreLanded Cost in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: Build the Cost Groups or Add a Charge Line-Round 36
The price on the purchase order is never the whole story. By the time a pallet lands in your warehouse, you’ve also paid freight, insurance, maybe customs duties.
